Shubman Gill has etched his name into cricketing history by becoming the first Indian batsman to score centuries in all three cricket formats at a single venue. This remarkable achievement was capped with his latest ODI century against England on Wednesday (Feb 12) in the third and final ODI, where he scored a stunning 112 off 102 balls, marking his seventh ODI hundred at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Gujarat.

Gill's love affair with the Ahmedabad venue began in 2023 when he slammed his first T20I century against New Zealand, scoring an unbeaten 126* off 63 balls. This was followed by a Test match hundred against Australia later that year, where he amassed 128 runs off 235 deliveries. His consistent performances across formats at this ground have not only showcased his versatility but also his ability to adapt to different conditions.
His latest ODI hundred places him in an elite club alongside international cricketers like Faf du Plessis, David Warner, Babar Azam, and Quinton de Kock, who have also achieved this feat at specific venues. Gill's record at Narendra Modi Stadium now includes 412 runs from seven matches, demonstrating his dominance and the stadium's status as his personal fortress.
This trio of centuries in Ahmedabad is not just a testament to Gill's skill but also boosts India's prospects in the upcoming Champions Trophy in Dubai, where his batting form could play a pivotal role. The right-handed batsman's consistency and flair have made him a cornerstone of the Indian batting lineup, promising exciting times ahead for both him and Indian cricket.
